Let's resurrect this thread...I wonder if Johnny is still around? Let me know how your trading is progressing, and I will share my results with you as well.

Best regards,Bob

Hi Bob,

I had best results with Big E system on H4 and daily. Still struggling to find a balance to SL and TP. Big E never seemed to use SL.

Also, it is advised to look left before entering the trade for support and resistance. But also, how strong is the candle, how the previous candles look like, which session is trading lon or us, trade with the trend, etc...

The attached image shows two TDI indicators, traders-dynamic-index, downloaded from a website and the other one id TDI Red Green downloaded from your thread, this one. Both MAs red and green are pretty straight but the second one is curved down and the green line touching the 50 line. My understanding od them is the first one says wait and the second one says get ready it about time to trade.

What an amazing system! In ten years of trading I have never found a system to be so reliable! I wish I had been around six years ago when Johnny started this thread.

I am sticking quite rigidly to the rules and template that Johnny provided and not getting many losers.

I've been a bit bemused why some haven't had such great success. Thats probably just how trading is. Personally I only use D1 so far, and am extremely selective. But I do use the 5 MA that comes with Johnny's ZIP

Its not really part of the system but I find it essential ironically.I'm looking for a nice succession of same color HA candles that crosses over 5MA with clear cross of green over red as per Johnny's rules and then enter after first candle that crossed and changed color.

It is a very simple system, and very intuitive - just trade when the market is actually moving and not stuck in a range - a bit of a truism but by simply filtering out choppy, range bound markets and sticking to the rules on the higher TFs I don't see how you can go wrong with this.

I have literally trialed hundreds of systems over the years but nothing has ever come close to this!

No real need to resurrect this thread unless anyone wants to, because the system came over from the FF forum many years ago and the thread is still going strong with over 80,000 posts to date. I think that is a testimony to how profitable this systemis. It is truly a very simple system, but as always thereare guys who want to take a thread over with highlytechnical analysis etc. They may be profitable, and even helpfulto some, but intimidating to many others.

It works well exactly the way the originator Big E traded it - just a cross of green over red on TDI indicator but read his PDF first or go back to the beginning of his thread or beginning of this thread as Johnny was very faithful to the original trading rules.

It was started by the late EelFranz (Big E) and you can download a pdf of all his instructions and training on page 4070 of the 'Trading made Simple' thread on FF,or his basic instructions in pdf are on post 123 of this thread here on BP.

just for the heck of it I threw this template up on a daily chart and I am going to plug this into my fxblue trade simulator just to see how it does.

This was a great system but I left it for what I thought was better at the time which was automated trading, which did well for me, but then I went out and learned how to trade off of price action. Which left me hating indicators.

So I do really well with my trading but I am always interested in doing something different and i am thinking these heikin ashi candles suck in a sideways market but are pretty incredible in a trending market.

So I am going to focus on eurjpy and maybe even gbpjpy (the trendiest pares I know)

Well she is up almost 800 pips now. I have been thinking a lot about what is happening here. This isn't luck this is proof that this system works well in a trending market (which is very true with heiken ashi candles) I will close this order once I get a red candle.

Next time I take a trade on the beast with this system I will go live. I wil have better defined risk as well. I bought 1 lot just because it was easy to. If I am to be serious about it I wiould probably set my stop slightly larger than one days range.
